Signs Your Lawn Needs a Pro (And Not Just a Weekend Warrior)

Hi there! My name is Alice, and I am a cute chocolate lab who loves roaming in the backyard! Taking care of your lawn can be a rewarding experience, but sometimes, DIY efforts just don’t cut it. If you’re a New Hampshire homeowner, you might wonder when it’s time to call in the professionals. Here are some signs that your lawn might need a pro, rather than a weekend warrior.

Persistent Brown Patches

If you notice brown patches that won’t go away, it’s a clear sign that something is wrong. These patches can result from various issues, including pests, diseases, or improper watering. A lawn care professional can diagnose the problem and recommend the best action.

Weeds Taking Over

If your lawn is becoming a battleground for dandelions and crabgrass, it may be time to seek professional help. Lawn care experts have access to specialized treatments and strategies to eliminate weeds while preserving the health of your grass.

Inconsistent Growth

If your lawn looks uneven, with some areas thriving while others struggle, it might be due to soil issues or improper maintenance practices. Professionals can assess your lawn’s condition and implement solutions to promote uniform growth.

Soil Compaction

You might be dealing with soil compaction if your lawn feels spongy or water pools on the surface after rain. This issue can affect root growth and water absorption. A professional can perform aeration to alleviate compaction and enhance your lawn’s health.

Lack of Time or Expertise

Sometimes, the best sign that you need a pro is a lack of time or knowledge. Lawn care can be time-consuming, and hiring a professional can relieve you of the burden if you feel overwhelmed with other responsibilities.

Seasonal Changes

If you’re unsure about when to fertilize, aerate, or overseed, a professional can provide guidance tailored to the unique climate of New Hampshire.
